When c. tarted
ni Fat nu ille it was and is today
incensua of opinion that what
the town needed most was somethln
to increase the pay-roll, and acting
on this conviction they decided up?
on the creamery. The creamery
h.i-i 1.n in operation the best part
of a year and it does appear to nu
to be a suicidal policy to antago
iiiz? it. and that by one who not ev?

interested except to give advice
which must prove detrimental to
the creamery's interest, and there?
by the whole community.

Since death follows the invasion,1
however, they will be slow to repeat
